The Chingshan Waterfall Hiking Path
In addition to the coastal view of Shihmen, one can also choose to drive to the forest. There are azure skies and aquamarine seas all along National Highway 2, but if one turns to County Highway 17 North, towards Chingshan Waterfall, the scene one sees will change drastically into emerald green hills and terraced fields. In order to see Chingshan Waterfall, one can climb up along the ridge bottom using ditches which were used for terrace field irrigation. Following the gurgling sounds at the pass up along slopes, one can stroll casually on a hiking path, where there are Laomei Stream, all kinds of trees and waving Miscanthus floridulus. Looking back to the coast, one can take a look at the slopes and terrace fields. Moreover, one can proceed and enter the valley, stepping on pebbles and playing with the water. It takes 40 minute to finish this 1.3 km hiking path and to get to Chingshan Waterfall in Yangming Mountain National Park. High Jutzi Mountain gathers all the flowing water in the mountain, which cuts through the valley fault and forms Chingshan Waterfall in Shihmen woods. Once named “Jianshan Lake Waterfall,” 8-meter-tall Chingshan Waterfall used to be a site only for mountain climbers around Datun Mountains and Sanchi before the hiking path was built. However, the newly-built hiking path allows ordinary tourists to admire the beauty of Shihmen woods.
